Both teams have been excellent this season with a 7-1 and 6-2 record and are identical against the spread, with a 6-2 ATS record each. This is balanced from a side perspective and both teams have been elite offensively this season, ranking on the top-13 of the country with 77.1 points per game combined. With Cincinnati’s defense regressing a bit lately, allowing 22.4 points per game in their last 5 games, I expect a high-scoring affair between two high-octane offenses. Take the over 56 points.
